  Dr. Ana Lopez has provided quality, compassionate care for patients in the U.S. and South America. Her warm manner and passion for helping seniors understand their health and achieve their most ambitious health goals are what endear her to her patients. "It's a privilege to take care of seniors," Dr. Lopez says. "I am reminded of my grandparents and that makes me happy." When she has some off time, Dr. Lopez enjoys reading, exercising and spending time with her husband, three daughters and (as she calls them) her "two old, cute dogs." Some day, Dr. Lopez would like to visit Machu Picchu in Peru.

  Jennifer Castilloux, DO

  DO

  Since Dr. Jennifer Castilloux was young, she’s always been interested in science. “All the complexities of the human body and pathology piqued my interest,” Dr. Castilloux says. Specializing in internal medicine, Dr. Castilloux rounds in skilled nursing facilities in Broward and Miami-Dade counties. “I chose to work with seniors because I believe they deserve a physician that will advocate for their needs, especially if they are unable to do so for themselves. I take time to make sure my patients really understand what’s going on with them and teach them about prevention so they can regain control of their health and take better care of themselves,” Dr. Castilloux adds.
